Apart Pizza Company

This spot gets a good solid 3 stars, boarder line 4. Service is great for delivery and in store orders. Pizza is hot and tasty. The red sauce has that good fresh-​ish acidic quality that is offset by a slight char in the crust. The pizza is thin. I can put away a 14″ solo and I’m a relatively fit person. So keep that in mind. And for all you pizza snobs out there… pizza must be loved and understood in context. This place is good for the inexpensive, delicious and quick delivery pizza they have.
FYI…I lived in Italy as a child and know Italian pizza. So to anyone who has taken a cute little week or two to Italy and tries to snub this review I laugh In Italian at your attempt.

I needed this! Pizza was on point! Salad produce was fresh and tasty! My order was delivered 20 minutes before estimated delivery time and the staff was way friendly! Fantastic experience all around. Great way to wrap up an exhausting week! Thank you.

Ordered a pizza and a liter of soda for delivery and was delivered the pizza along with 2 cans of soda, which together are about ²⁄₃ of a liter. I called the restaurant and was told they were out of liters, so they substituted the 2 cans as if it was an acceptable substitute. When I pointed out the difference in volume between 2 cans and a liter they said they would send out another can which I never got. Horrible customer service.

Wow! I just had a feeling I was in N.Y.C. during the winter months on 57^th by Convent avenue, in Manhattan. This is truly Apart pizza, reminiscent of the famous pizza parlors of the, «Big Apple,»
The consumer service is outstanding! Thanks to your representative April for her assistance and fast efficient service. The Cacciatore pizza is delicious and was just warm enough to eat right from the box! We’re absolutely satisfied with the service & pizza and Will continue to order our pizza’s from your business.
Thanks April,
Dave & Jen

Just ordered from grub hub and the pizza was amazing!!! We got the geek pizza and the supreme so yummy! This is a new favorite! Pizza is awesome without feeling super heavy or greasy in your tummy.

Sometimes being a vegan can be hard. Finding a good vegan pizza can also be a challenge! I think I’ve ordered delivery from this location 3 times and each experience has been pleasurable and I’ve never waited longer than 45 mins. I order the vegetarian pizza, add onion, and substitute vegan cheese. My pizzas have been delivered hot, fresh, and tasty each time. One time last year, during a terrible snow storm my doorbell didn’t work. I distinctly remember hearing the Apart Pizza delivery man downstairs in my courtyard yelling «Amanda! Amanda! Pizza!» Now that’s service

We live across the alley from Apart and tried it out about a month ago. Now we’ve been there almost once a week since then. The pizza is good, salads are good, and the dessert is delicious! We always order through GrubHub for pick up and our order has always been ready in a timely manner. The prices are also fair. So far so good… no complaints here!

Update time! So after another day of no calls and no refund, Apart’s «lawyer» just called me and told me they «ran some tests» in their kitchen and determined that the fortune cookie paper could not have ended up in their pizza. He then told me that «since we were generous enough to give you two free pizzas, we suggest you drop this.»
Seriously? First of all, I didn’t realize Apart Pizza has a forensic lab in the back. Secondly, I don’t think the tainted pizza that I took one bite out of and that your driver took back counts as «a free pizza.» Third, thanks for insinuating that I planted things in my pizza to get a $ 20 refund out of you. Did you really think this would not end up on Unilocal?
Who are these clowns?

Ordered filoncino, garlic knots and apart pizza. The delivery came 15 min late and when it came they brought the wrong pizza. Had to wait an additional 45 minutes after that for my correct pizza. They didn’t offer an apology or discount of some sort for their mistake. I thought the food was below average.

Although the staff is friendly, and the menu looks delicious, it took over 30 minutes for a 10″ thin crust pizza.
I love the idea of supporting small, local businesses, but this is pretty disappointing service.
Sadly, I can’t recommend that you go to this pizza place.

We’ve been loyal customers to Apart for several years, telling lots of people in the Chicago-​area that they had the best pizza around. However, after several service snafus – and food that seems to have diminished in quality – I don’t think we will be ordering again.
The straw that broke the camel’s back was our experience this evening. We have a newborn baby at home and family visiting. So, at 7:15, we ordered $ 80 worth of food from Apart, using GrubHub for our order. Our receipt was emailed immediately, and GrubHub said our order would be delivered between 8:30 — 8:40.
At 8:45, I called Apart to inquire about our order. The manager who answered the phone seemed completely unconcerned about the fact that he had «just received the order» through his fax machine. I informed assured him that we’d placed our order at 7:15 and that we had a receipt (attached), but he wasn’t phased. «Well, I just got it, and it won’t be ready until after 10:00.» There were no apologies. No offers of discounts or free product. No commitment to rush the order.
The nonchalance was infuriating. I mean, c’mon, say SOMETHING. Instead, he completely pawned the mistake off on GrubHub and continuously said, with an attitude, that I could either «cancel the order through GrubHub» or «wait until 10:15.»
When I asked for his name, he said «it is GrubHub’s fault» and hung up on me. He’s a 20 – 30 male, working as manager of the Bryn Mawr location on Saturday, August 29.
Long story short: I called GrubHub, and no one answered. Apart insisted that they can’t cancel my order, and they still refused to offer any compensation for the fact that our pizza, which was ordered at 7:15, wasn’t delivered until almost 10:15.
Though, judging by these recent reviews, many of which echo the same service issues, I’m not sure anyone will care that their restaurant is being handled so poorly.
Look, maybe this WAS GrubHub’s fault, though many people on Unilocal have said that Apart claims to have lost their tickets. Still, ultimately, Apart chooses to partner with GrubHub. Apart will get my $ 80. And Apart handled this mishap as poorly as they possibly could have.
So poorly, in fact, that they’ve lost this customer.

Better than average… very good crust… creative. It is not your average pizza. Rustic is a was to describe, but in a good way.

So we started loving this place when they opened their first store at Montrose St. And then we moved to Rogers park and delighted they opened this place very close from us with delivery.
Their thin pizza is awesome, their salads are always fresh. I prefer their personal pizzas as the bigger sizes are not as crispy as the personal ones.

My son and I found this place on Unilocal after a Cubs game. Got off the Red Line at Bryn Mawr and walked right over to it. My mom lives in the neighborhood and we were visiting from the suburbs for the Cubs game.
It’s a little joint with a few tables. Most people probably order for pick-​up, but we ate there. We asked if they had slices and they did not offer them when we asked.
We ordered two 10 inch personal pizzas. Thin crust with just cheese and sausage. They were very good and tasty. We loved the crispy crust that had a mild burnt crust that added to the flavor. It was really good neighborhood pizza. We will be back for more.
It was not too pricy and the people were very nice and helpful. My son and I enjoyed eating in the sit down area of this place. Quaint little nook to throw back some pie!!!

I ordered take out on Friday 6÷12÷2015, had no issues with orders, sizes, etc. Also, they answered the phone immediately. I mention all of those because of other not so good service reviews. Also, they were pretty friendly upon pickup. Maybe not the friendliest, but perfectly fine, no bad feelings, even got a smile.
Also, I’ve noticed most of the bad reviews deal with cold pizza. Look, I don’t know how else to say this — this pizza is thin. Super thin. Unless you live 15 minutes away, it’s going to get cold unless you eat in. I picked it up on a warm night, put the two small boxes in a foil lined grocery bag and zipped it, and covered everything in a towel and another bag. Drove about 30 min home. It was warm, not hot. The ones in the foil pouch did better. I did then put them in a warming oven, and they heated right back up (I slightly wilted my arugula). I don’t do gluten free, I understand as others have said it’s tricky — maybe it’s not a good idea to get it here unless you’re eating there? I guess what I’m trying to say here after all of this is that it’s NOT going to be hot. I believe everyone that sometimes the delivery times are absurd, which is why I’ll pick it up myself… but I’ll also know that it’s not going to be piping when I get home.
Anyway, the pizza freaking rocks. I spent too much time on a Friday agonizing on where to get good thin crust. My husband loves it and I only love it if it’s great. I’m a thick crust girl. This is oven fired, super thin crust Italian pizza, and it’s very very good.
We ordered the arugula pizza, the pepperoni/​sausage/​mushroom, a ham/​brie/​egg, and two desserts — nutella with banana and the apricot.
Arugula pizza: Needed a LITTLE more salty flavor — I added fresh grated pecorino romano at home. But still, ⁴⁄₅ stars.
Pepperoni/​sausage/​mushroom: mushrooms were fresh and super thinly sliced, which is important, the pepperoni is great, and I’m EXTREMELY picky with sausage — it was great. Super fennel-​y, well seasoned, not gristly ⁵⁄₅
Ham/​brie/​egg: Incredible. I could die. The ham is to die for and I’m now planning on getting more of their ham based pizzas. Of course, I got take out, so the egg wasn’t super runny, but still, didn’t really matter. ⁵⁄₅
Desserts: both are really good, but they were heavy on the dough, and the fillings thin out at the tips of the crescent. I cut both into 4, and really, only the middle pieces (the thick parts) had enough filling. I suggest splitting only with 2 people so you get enough filling per person. Also, note they are a little bit tough and not light/​crispy. They aren’t bad at all, and the fillings themselves are well executed. I just wanted to give you an idea of what to expect and know that the tips aren’t full. 3.5÷5

My fiancé and I had a random pizza craving last night at 9 PM, so we thought we’d check this place out. We’ve heard really good things about their thin crust pizza — it’s supposed to be as close to New York pizza as you can get — and that’s what we were in the mood for.
The situation was a little awkward. We knew they closed at 10, but we got there at 9:15 and all the stools and chairs were put up on the tables. We had to double-​check to make sure it was open and that there were actually workers in the place. But, we ordered our pizza and all went smoothly.
As far as atmosphere, this place is pretty cool. It’s extremely casual with a few tables and benches for people to sit. I wouldn’t recommend going here with a large group of people, since space is fairly limited, but if you’re there when it’s slow, they have some good board games and for you to play while you wait. There’s also a chalk board at front, but again, if it’s busy, it’d be kind of awkward to draw on it, since it’s right in front of the ordering counter. Going here during a time when they aren’t about to close would probably be fun, and they’re a BYOB place, so it’s definitely now on our radar for places to hang out.
The pizza itself was delicious. If you’re looking for an affordable thin-​crust pizza, this is where you want to go. For the two of us, it cost under $ 20, and we completely polished it off. We ordered a Queen Margherita and were pretty happy with it. The «fresh» tomatoes weren’t as fresh as they could have been, but again, we got there fairly close to closing.
The lunch deals are much better and we’re going to try making this place a go-​to for a Saturday brunch/​lunch. Their combos are significantly cheaper during their lunch time (you can get a pizza that serves 3 – 4 and a 2-​liter coke for under $ 20), and they offer free shipping from 11 AM — 3 PM. Since we went late night, we’re not sure how this is going to work out, but we’re excited to try. We were happy with our pizza and can’t wait to try out their garlic knots and dessert.

Good thin crust choice for pizza take in area. They do have a small dine in area but I would not reccomend. Ingredients are fresh, sauce is good and crust is crunchy. How can you lose?

We are really patient and tried this place 7 times.
I REALLY want to give this place a better review… but I really can’t…
We have given them several chances because the pizza is really good. But every single time they screw up our order. Like really screw it up. Every time.
One time they sent us a small instead of an extra large then made us wait an hour to «exchange» pizzas for our original size. That resulted in two hours of waiting for all of us to eat a cold rushed pizza and one of those hours was spent smelling the one we were supposed to turn in for the correct size. Any customer minded business would have comped their original mistake and let us eat it. They acknowledged it was their fault but made us wait. Zero apologies or concessions.
They have put the wrong ingredients on (meat for vegetarians), forgotten all our sides, drinks or salads.
They called us one time because our (very simple) order confused them. Then blamed the web ordering system for their confusion which they ask everyone to use (rather than Grub Hub which a note on their pizzas explains takes a percentage) saying their online system isn’t very good. Than why the note that they prefer we use that system?
Tonight I had to call 17 times before getting through to order by phone thinking that maybe that would be better… it wasn’t.
Last time I ordered (and waited 90 minutes), that the delay was because they proudly make their pesto (on their menu) fresh everyday and it was really good. Tonight I asked for pesto and the guy said they don’t have pesto. I asked if they were out and he said they have never had pesto on the menu and don’t have any there. Trying not to be argumentative, I said I was surprised because we had ordered it before. He kind of laughed and said «You sure?».
They also gave me a free coupon when the pesto pizza had taken so long, which I now understand was because they don’t have any so they had to manifest it from the thin air ;) … but wrote on it for a free «dessert». That was nice, but they don’t have desserts. I’m sitting here with the coupon clearly saying Pizza Apart on it and the words Dessert and the name of an employee Bianca… I guess that’s just trash…
Total bummer to give a local business such a bad review. Unavoidable. Never going back.

We were feeling some spinach so stopped in for a Tricolore: fresh tomatoes, goat cheese, spinach (made to look like the Italian Flag) each eating 2 slices of the 18″ pie. Small store front with one or two tables in the corner but most clientele probably order to go or for delivery.
Love the bite to their thin crust. Fresh ingredients, not too salty, flavorful. YUM!

While Andersonville has many pizza options Apart has become our go to place for really good thin crust pizza. I am a big fan of green olives and sausage pizza, unfortunately my enjoyment of green olives is not welcomed by the masses and many pizza places have stopped carrying them. Needless to say when I have that craving Apart is my first call.
We have always had prompt delivery and as mentioned by a few others the delivery has shown before the stated time.
